~ Reviews and book rants make the world go 'round

Monthly Archives: July 2013

I have been more or less addicted to this series for a few years now and have written about it before… so now I’m talking about it…
(there really is no good way to explain this is there? Just watch!)
Die die die die!!!!

If you’re here for book related stuff, scroll down to something from another day or explore the archives. This is a YA reader site… but just not this post.

Because I am a human (as far as I know) living in today’s day and age in a 1st world country, I know that pretty much everything about third grade through middle school sucks.

Yeah, I said it (and, yeah, this is going to be one of “those” kind of blog posts. Deal with it.). This isn’t going to be some sob story- go to Tumblr and you can find plenty of those squished between all the Benedict Cumberbatch pictures. My younger grade years didn’t stink that bad. Sure, I got picked on for my constant use of GermX and had a fair share of rumors going on about me…

… but I also met my best friend, joined band (5 years later I’m still in), and discovered my love of writing. Being the secret drama queen that I am, I wrote poems on note cards during those not-so-okay days… and even a few on the better ones.

That is what I’m sharing a few of with you all today.

My Domain I have the mind of a writer, a strong warrior in the city of imagination. With my pencil at hand, ready for anything. I what what goes and there is NOTHING about to stop me.My ideas flooding my brain, making me dream in poems. I am the ruler here. Go aheadand try to block me. As a writer, you’ll regret it.This is my world now.
